It is advised to spread the cream thoroughly to prevent creasing of the foundation. You can even use the same cream for makeup removal at night.

Step 2: Opt For Primer Potion

Now, the question is - “Why is it required”? It is a beauty blender that not only moisturizes the skin but helps you deal with uneven skin tone.

The name of this beauty hero is Urban Decay Eyeshadow primer potion. Please do not confuse with the title - as it is the multi-purpose product.

Primer Potion formula is ideal for deep laugh lines and those without it can go for any silicon base primer of your choice. The cream gently enters into lines and wrinkles without any need to pull the skin.

Step 3: Choose The Right Concealer

Choose a concealer with natural color and close to your complexion. Remember your goal is to appear untouched by age. Apply soft cream concealers as it is beneficial for deep smile lines.

The one I selected based on skin type is the LA Girl Pro Concealer. You don’t believe - it did wonders! Dot it on your face and spread it generously with your index or ring finger to cover fine lines and wrinkles.

When applying concealer on eyes dab it in such a way that it enters the coats the fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. Lightweight concealers are perfect for blemishes. Remember that you must use a pointed brush that works wonderfully for your laugh line.

Step 4: Go For A Light-Reflecting Foundation.

For those with too many fine lines, I found that light-reflecting foundation formulas work well. The foundation you choose must include antioxidants, retinol, and peptides to add a glow to face and better decrease the appearance of laugh lines.

Again, I advise you to use moisturizing foundation for dry skin. To ensure the same, I usually look for hyaluronic acid and SPF to avail moisturizing benefits. SPF is a vital ingredient to prevent sun damage, which makes the smile lines more beautiful.

If your skin is dry, it is advised to avoid matte foundations. Matte ones accentuate the fine lines and will make you look older than your age. Strictly prevent foundation with salicylic acid. The satin-finish liquid foundation is best for dull and dry skin with deep smile lines.

It is always advised to apply foundation in dotting format. For dry skin, I would strictly say ‘NO’ to circular motion. Instead, use a sponge or tissue paper to dot the foundation on laugh lines.

The best tool for me is the "EcoTools Cruelty-Free Total Perf Blender Brush." So when you brush off, it blends across the face. An important tip for your eyes is to dab the foundation in upside down triangle shape. The technique I mentioned here will help avoid a cakey look.

You must be wondering, what about my oily skin? You may go for foundations that give more coverage than CC cream. Marc Jacobs Shameless Youthful-Look 24H Foundation SPF 25 is one such foundation that helps you get rid of laugh lines.

The other one with similar functionality is “Dermablend Flawless Creator Foundation Drops." It gives full coverage and blends easily without leaving creases. This concealer is suitable for any skin type to hide laugh lines.

Step 5: Avoid Creasing

Apply fluffy brush to set the concealer and foundation correctly. When the foundation creases and settles into the laugh lines, they appear prominent.

So, it is advised to use blotting powder to let the product sit on the face. This method of application gives a smoother feel and elegant look.

You should know that some of you with deep fine lines may not be satisfied with this step. So, you can freshen up your face with a clean concealer brush to hide one or two lines in the end.

Step 6: Lip Regeneration

Dry and damaged lips give an ugly look. Before you apply lipstick, always use regenerative lip base on lips and laugh lines.

If you re-apply the lipstick after a few hours - make sure to apply the base again. It hydrates the lips and repairs the damage. I also suggest using the Primer Potion to preserve the lipstick. Now, the question is - “How will you do this”?

Chrome

Slightly feather the primer around your lips to conceal the lines and wrinkles around mouth and eyes. You can also use the same to preserve the eyeshadow.

After removing the makeup - you must apply anti-wrinkle serum for soft and supple skin. It moisturizes your skin and prevents the formation of the laugh lines. Practice this on a daily basis to avoid laugh lines.
